Depending on the Genre you are in you may find this useful. Personally i just
use www.betamonkeymusic.com drum loops. Its really nice drums played by really
good drummers in rally nice studios. All sliced and diced i into different
loop packages by genres. I initially stumbled upon them as they were the only
company doing stuff for hard rock/metal at the time. As I a m not a drummer
and don't really have the time to commit to learning how to play, I have always
found working with drum loops the closest thing to working with a drummer to
jam out ideas with and do arrangements. That being said they cover the gammet
of genres so don't think for a second they are just a Metal company, They got
Jazz, Country, Blues, and of course pop and pop rock stuff and even a hip hop
library.

There are drums that come with pro tools, if you have a midi device such as a
key board or drum machine to control the sounds in the pro tools instrument
banks you will be good to go. In my case I use an oxygen USB keyboard plugged
into the mac, when I want to use it, I open a session, use command, shift N
to make a new track, then I choose the number of new tracks, then choose for
it to be either mono or stario then the type of track, audio, master fader or
instrument, I click instrument then boom, I got instrument tracks ready to
use. I then go to one of the tracks and on the input source it will usually
already have your midi/USB device and if not, just pick it. Then you should
arm that track so that you know for sure that you will hear it out of your
moniters. You then go to your incert banks, choos incert A, go down to
instrument as the type of incert, and for drums you can use either Boom or
go to the Expand 2 library. Boom is drums and drum grooves and expand 2 has
a drum section as well as a drum groove section. After that it is a matter of
your tempo and quantising if you need it. Don't forget that in order to
toggle on and off your metradome use the number 7 on the num pad.
Hope this can help to get you started

Subject: Making drum tracks when recording with a computer.
Hi,
Now since i'm about to begin the jorney of mastering or at least trying to
get the hang of Pro tools, i wonder about drum tracks. I'm used to old drum
machines like the Yamaha RX15 or the Roland TR-707 or the likes thereof, but
since such drum machines aren't around and maybe not even works propperly in
a computer recording environment what with Midi and all that, i wonder if
there's an accessible drum machine that comes with PT or what people use to
make their drum tracks, and if what you use are available for the Mac?
